Shedeur Sanders is in tough spot in Browns’ QB competition even as he shines
NY Post
Shedeur Sanders is doing his part early in training camp for the Cleveland Browns, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s gaining ground on the starting role.
Multiple insiders reported Browns coach Kevin Stefanski is impressed with third-round pick Dillon Gabriel early on, adding that the Oregon rookie is picking up the offense very quickly despite a lot being thrown at him.
“Browns coaches did not ask Sanders to integrate the same volume of playbook during minicamp as his counterparts,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said on “NFL Live.”
ESPN Cleveland aggregated the four quarterbacks’ combined OTA and minicamp stats, with Sanders having by far the highest completion percentage, coming in at 77.3 percent, well above Gabriel, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett.
Fowler adds that Sanders, who fell to the fifth round in the 2025 NFL Draft after previously expecting to be a first-round pick, did not receive any first-team reps throughout Browns camp; thus, the level of competition he faced was significantly lower than that of the other three.
Sanders was 41-for-53 with nine touchdowns (most) and one interception through OTAs and minicamp.
